Spitting...the problem in a cigar lounge

[nativetexan_1]

Go outside. Spitting "in the house" is kinda yucky. Besides, mamma always said spitting was rude.

I am very glad that I am not the only one that spits. I thought I was. When at an event I follow bigman's advise.

I too spit a lot when I first started smoking. Now I never spit. Maybe it's because I smoke quality cigars now? I can't explain it.

I never did figure out the spitting thing. I never spit - never have the urge. I guess it is a habbit for people

Ya, I used to dip for several years, around 15 years actually, and in that time I have found that no one wants to see or hear spit, it really seams to disgust smokers (cig smokers), my reply used to be at least the only one who might be effected by second hand spit is me (if I drink from the wrong hand, I used to drink with my left and spit in to the container on my right, or was that the other way around, regardless that’s why I don’t do it any more, bad memory). Later on I found that if you just hide it from them they are none the wiser, and life is more pleasant for all, thus the aforementioned method of spitting in plane view without drawing attention to yourself. I still use this method when I am smoking a cigar or my pipe; I just don’t dip or chew anymore, at least not for the last 7months.

Oh, ya, I to can’t swallow when smoking, I think it is the taste of tobacco causing an involuntary reaction, this was my self preservation method wile dipping and drinking, only swallow the Beer or Bourbon, if you don’t take a drink don’t swallow type of thing.
You are not alone.

Interesting about not being able to swallow when smoking! I will have to poll my cigar buddies who spit and see what they say.

I have to spit almost every drag with a cigar or a pipe. When I quit cigarettes a few months back I had problems with a dry mouth for quite a while after. Glad it's not too uncommon.

Never had... Never had the urge...

Interesting that so many do on the forum... Where are you guys? I never see people spitting while smoking their stoge's.

I'm sure I'll notice now though...
